[@davidlewis9068]

Ocean picture stones are really nice.

[@sharonmalone8312]

The pieces are so beautiful,I wish I could afford some,especially a tree. All I can do is watch and drool over them. So awesome!

[@supersonicdevin3212]

I never knew stones could be so beautiful. Amazing!

[@josephcormier5974]

Looking forward to seeing what the new year brings. Thank you for sharing this recap of 2023 six stars brother

[@anneburton6708]

I love ur picture stone! Love watching you all digging it and processing!!

[@Grumpyoldman165]

This stuff is beautiful good find Dan

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Dan, That was an unexpectedly long video ! But it was full of good content. I am very glad for you that Dana will join you on site. I hope she enjoys being out with you as much as I for one enjoy seeing you two working together. As for the material you removed from the site. Some of it is simply unbelievable. I have a wild imagination which I so often enjoy. But some of that ocean picture stone needs no imagining. It just looks like a photograph. Thank you for bringing this content to us. Take Care

[@farengarsecret-fire9597]

Just to explain, the only reason it's so long, is because its compilation of several individual videos. All of them that he filmed in the whole year 2023 (explained in the videos title)

[@guidorea8347]

WoW, just WoW!!!!!.... one of the best videos I've seen on those picture stones....🙂👍

[@djh7052]

The feather chisels sound like string instruments when they’re hit it sounds like you’re playing a violin whenever you hit the feather chisel

[@cheekysaver]

When the rock starts to crack... I kept thinking.... rock rice krispies. I think you have yhe best job on the planet. Thanks for taking us along.

[@1944chevytruck]

Amazing stone!

[@ericpowers885]

More of this please .Love when you tell us what the pieces are worth

[@michaelrobinson8915]

I see your most prescious gem, yes she has kindness as her precious glow. Dana the real gem..blessings...m

[@claytonsteele96]

[@normawilliams317]

I loved the long video! Thank You. And thank you for sharing all your knowledge and adventures with us. I love not only the rocks but the beautiful country side ❤ You are a lucky man. Much Love for you and your Family 💞

[@jamesblake7338]

That is some beautiful stuff!

[@pamelamurphy4765]

Absolutely fantastic! I love it when you go to this quarry. Enjoyed all of your adventures here!

[@bonniedrouillard3963]

I am dreaming of the heart your dad made! ❤

[@danielcarter305]

Dan, I know you love Dana Blue, but I really like the blue at 44:55. You should rename this color River Picture Stone. The host rock embedded in the quartz looks like boulders in a river.😄😄😄

[@ironhorse7588]

We love following your adventures Dan. I love the pieces of Ocean Pictures Stone we bought from your website. 🙏💕💒😇

[@kristielana4364]

@Danhurd I ordered BC Ocean Picture Stone I am so pleased with my pieces. All the work Dan and Dayna put in I am so amazed. Dayna packages up everything up nicely. I encourage people to check out his shop!! I can’t wait to see what treasures Dan and Dayna come up with.

[@TheColorMagic1986]

[@ModernAmericanNomad420]

Great parenting Mr Hurd..awesome video

[@nickitoff9629]

Just amazing! Really enjoyed this video. Unbelievable beauty in each slab!

[@glendajorde9062]

beautiful

[@AnneBurton-d6y]

I so love this stone!!!! I want a slab for display in my crystal collection now!

[@earlaagaard8175]

That is aMAZing stone....thanks for taking us along!!

[@Mynameis7nad]

Get a motorized concrete saw. You can cut a line 9" deep and use a wedge to break it off the rest of the way leaving cleaner cuts and basically blocks. Also would be easier to cut off host material. Amazon has a wet and dry 16" gas powered saw for 300

[@thomasmangine7564]

Thank you, very enjoyable. Living in Hawaii, there's not much opportunity for rock hounding.

[@RosarioEdwin-yu6hf]

Absolutely amazing

[@teresakennedy3016]

There so beautiful , and so are there namesake .

[@sampickens1998]

WOW!! Dan, those ocean stones are absolutely beautiful.....

[@ghostprepper5859]

@Dan Hurd, you're whole family is beautiful Sir! I have been following you for a couple years on and off. Im disabled and can't get out so I get to enjoy you and Jason, and crazy Canadian, then there's that crazy Arizona Miner I enjoy watching you folks, I used to play around now I just buy paydirt 😊

[@averieldeathrider8407]

From Texas here & love your content!! 😎😎 beautiful scenery & beautiful pieces!! Ocean Picture Stone Is 1 of my faves!!

[@WingmanJohnny]

Super cool rocks yins guys

[@ldvan100]

At 1:11:30, the wire trees are beautiful.. Being an electrician myself, I've been making them for years with cable rems.. Like the addition of chips for leaves and such..

[@christianamaglio6391]

Y love bleu !!!!!❤

[@mariaalmanza8981]

Hello Dan my name is Maria, this is amazing adventures I m learning a lot from you videos I want to start to treasure hunting! How did you find all these beautiful stones! I will love to go in adventure with you and your beautiful family at least one day! Can you send me a beg with the blue pieces?

[@captbad9313]

I like the panoramas where i see the town I live just 10 miles from.

[@jongordon6132]

Loading up all that picture stone, where is your wheel barrel or hand kart maybe?

[@giovanemarcelino6520]

Is beautiful

[@dn2817]

I ordered some from you and it’s in the mail.

[@bobweiss9138]

Wow Beautiful

[@randalljones4370]

Speaking as a dentist who pulls lots of teeth and fractured roots, there is something very satisfying in watch Dan bust up and 'extract' his quarry. Did Dan ever get his Mjollnir for those bigger feather-n-wedges?

[@jamest.5001]

27:26 that would look awesome in a backsplash in a kitchen , cut stone slabs into tiles, then a strip of ocean blue stone it would be an expensive tile. But beautiful!! Have an awesome day 🤠

[@lisambogart5355]

Wow great rocks!!❤️😎✌🏻🕷🦇🦉🔮👻🇺🇸

How does ocean picture stone form ? And what is the composition of the three coloured bands ?

Hey Dan my oldest grandson loves to collect rocks he’s been doing it since he was three years old he’s now thirteen I can’t afford the real nice ones so how much would one like 3 inches or so wide cost 🤷‍♂

[@user-bu3ly6rh4z]

Good job to your team Dan. Enjoy watching your videos and hope everything is going great ! All the love from celeste and I and the kiddos

[@DjHall-zx7pd]

Hey Dan my name is DJ I'm from Danby. Vermont we have a gold belt that runs thew Vermont new Hampshire an ends in main . I've tryed so many rivers an streams u can find gold but u do a hundred pans to find a few flakes an my flakes would be fly pop to u ..you would throw back for sure . So wish I grew up in BC or Alaska I love gold panning . My last trip to a river I found my biggest peace I call a picker but to u it wouldn't be . I've been following u for years wish I could be a patron but have no clue how to. not good with technology.. keep the videos coming I've watched um all an still am you an your family are great.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

Hello all, hope all going well, so far, this yr

[@harpintn]

It is amazing how a tool that is thousands of years old is still being used. I guess when a tool is as good as the feathering wedge it is hard to improve on it.

[@robertpatro795]

is this stone considered jasper?

[@Khusringoldminers]

Amazing very good

[@aaronsavage1234]

I want to see Dan go up there with a backhoe and a water cannon. He could reveal a few tons all at once by washing away the hillside

[@CanadianGoldMining]

there is stuff in the works for the first thing you mentioned ;)

[@UnholyBe4st]

To much will force him to drop the price...i doubt he wants that

[@clonejones7955]

​@@ERoyce-i5dHe owns the claim.Its Crown land.You don't mine there because you don't own the claim.

[@GimmeOo-mox]

@@clonejones7955 He'd have to go through the municipality but if they have no interest in the mineral or the land then they'll allow a person to mine it. You can't release methane gas from your posterior in Canada without the gov getting a tax fee from it.

Tucson Tony here, welcome back to Tucson or Chukshun as we natives will tell you. Where you at this time here at Tucsons Gem show . Definitely want a piece of Dana Blue...

[@Danhurd]

I’m not vending. But stay tuned to my Facebook. Will have a meet and greet party Thursday night. I will have some stone there

[@PGCoinworld]

Thank you sir 👍🎉❤

[@Epoxinator]

What kinds of stone make up the brown, white and blue portions?

[@thatcrystallady_donna]

I'm slowly working the 1lb piece that I got from you a few years ago. Have too many pots on the fire and need to get back to these beauties. Still need some Dana blue.

[@christopherwells372]

Have you considered using a portable diamond saw to add cuts to direct your extraction with feather wedges? These saws often used on concrete.

[@semoneg2826]

Wanted to fast forward a bit...Am so happy i didnt...it was pure joy seeing Dan chisel out those rocks piece by piece out of the hill side.. Those ocean turquoise blue rocks❤❤❤❤ Great job

[@stuartbailey6201]

Ancient Looks Iceberg Blue great find

[@laattardo]

Found my favorite pendant. Sent hubby a link... not so subtly begged him 😂😂😂 I never ask for jewelry 😂😂😂

[@debcamp2359]

Epic, long and entertaining video.

[@mobiousenigma]

DAN thanks for the vids! fyi driving a feather between 2 wedges would do nothing but drive a wedge between 2 feathers and you can split rock.

[@TimNorfolk-jy8vx]

I have 18 grandkids and my oldest grandson loves to collect all kinds of rocks I’d love to get a real small one for his collection

[@janinemcmahon218]

Have a contest for your customers who have madeitems out of Ocean PStn and have viewers vote on the most attractive pieces. The winners prize is a big piece of whatever stones you have available. Or a piece of OPS. I’d love to see what people have done with it. It’s so beautiful. You narrow it down to 20 or something.

[@EdWolfram]

I want to cut some 13x9mm cabs for earrings. The slabs seem extremely thick for an earring blank. Would chips be better for what I'm looking for. Size is tough in pictures.

[@TalkAboutaTrapstar]

be careful with any silica dust, Dan! anyway good work! that vein is an awesome find!

[@d.andysprospecting]

Some really nice pieces! Id love to see an epoxy table or something made from some of them!

[@user-bu3ly6rh4z]

So jealous and would love to do this one day -

[@vitpankin]

Pauly is a true gemstone =D

[@rossgraveley]

Hey Dan why not use like the Sierra blaster to remove some of that old overburden above the picture stone it does I've heard they're pretty good and are pretty easy to use and that they can move some pretty good overburden

[@princessadventures1285]

Being from kansas i just cant imagine this. How depressing. I build saws and live near KU maybe I need to befriend a geologist and trade for tag alongs.

[@s.d.iprospecting4359]

Kinda looks like opal without the spectrum colors.imagine if that was an opal seam wow that would be worth some serious money.

Great mineralization of blue Ground mining like Sea nothing but Blue Mine's Shining from You. Nothing but Blue Mine's shining on Who?At least your family is happy with you and not miserable with anyone else just as ones opinion is just as noones else's point of view as be good to yourself and take care of everyone else... Keep up your Oceans Picture Scene as a mountainous of the man Dan can with his family picture as in Stone We Trust. I appreciate you all and your knowledge is the power believe in You as each one of you should and do. More people are talking you out of you and hopefully no-one will do.

Hey Dan, Current Tucson resident and visitor of the gem show. By any chance can you post what tent your stones will be in?

I wish I could afford to get my sister a piece that has the brown on bottom, blue in middle and white on top where it really looks like the ocean.

Those are some.....picture....perfect.... rocks....hahahahahaha!!! Ok. I'll see myself out.
